(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); As the "PSN outage" extends and tensions run high, there has been a high increase in threads that generally say the same thing. They all seem to point to one factor, that a lot of people only play games for the multiplayer.

Now, I'm alot older than some users ( I'm 27 ) and when I was a kid, if you wanted to play games with your friends you would have to go to their house, not just party up. So for me, playing offline is no problem.

Playing Offline

Although most of the popular games seem to be designed as a multiplayer game, they still contain a story mode and many games have multiple offline modes.

I recently bought the new Mortal Kombat, there's so much to do that I probably won't play it online until I finished all the other things I've started. I also have been playing the Crysis 2 and Black Ops campaigns, because if PSN was up I'd just be playing the multiplayer.

These can help take the hours of boredom away. Already completed it? well put it on the hardest setting and go back in.

You could probably find a guide right here on NGU!

Trophies

All games have these, use this time to go back and get ones that you forgot about or couldn't be bothered with. If your bored and your ps3 is your only source of entertainment, then trophy hunting can be a good sport.

When I first ever got a ps3, I didn't even have internet, trophy hunting was all I could do.

I know trophies may not be everyone's interest, but it does look cool to have a few platinums in your collection.

(Online trophies usually make up a small percentage of the total amount.)

Again, you can probably find help with trophies here on NGU.

Your ps3 can also;

Play stored music
Play CDs
Play Blue Rays and DVDs
Browse on the internet

So there are plenty of things that you can still do with your ps3, and even more things are available away from your ps3.

Live your life?

Enjoy the weather
Go play some sports
Go to the gym
Go to the cinema
Get a haircut
Do anything !!!

Life has so much to offer you, but you just won't take it.

I think it really depends on what games you have.

good post, yeh Trophies i love em, been whoring a few up since its been down, well when im not out or with my misses that is. but online is a massive part of me and i miss chatting to my online friends and playing online, kinda boring playing single player now, when ive been used to online for soo long

Yea, I miss it too. But a lot of people are missing it a bit too much :lol: and forget that there are things they can still do.

iniiit lol /facepalm

i have moved to xbox lmao.

Yea... but what if you ran out of games you can get throphies for?
And live in a boring town with nothing to do? And have no driver licence to go away from the town...

It's nice to play online for a few hours when you get home and are absolutely shattered from college work :fa:

Well if that's the case and your whole life revolves around your ps3, you're screwed.

Lol, just joking, I have a pool in my backyard
